Monolith

I know I said I would be done with photos from my prairie photography outing, but then I came across photos from our final stop of the day that I had previously overlooked. We visited an area called "Castle Rock", rolling hills dotted with funky rock formations seemingly jutting out of the ground. The landscape was so different from the prairie that I wanted to add one to my album. I liked the scale of man to rock in this shot. B&W suited it best. Another Nik Silver Efex Pro processing experiment.

Sort of o.d school movie set look to me. Love the scale that the person adds to the shot. I am expecting to see a 50s lizard-like monster come out from behind that rock...:-)

Nice monochrome. And the guy certainly adds scale to the photo. Great shot.
